Range Description

Zapornia sandwichensis occurred on the east side of Hawai'i, USA, and may also have occurred on Molokai(Pratt et al. 1987). It is known from bones and a number of specimens(Olson and James 1991), and was illustrated by Ellis on Cook's third voyage(Stresemann 1950). The last specimen was collected in 1864 and the last report was in 1884, or possibly 1893 (Taylor 1998).
